Art House Open Studios 2018 Group Exhibition 12 May- 28 July

An exhibition showcasing the work of local artists, craftspeople, artist and community groups taking part in Richmond Upon Thames' annual open studios festival, Art House.

Art House celebrates the vast creative talent living and working within the borough and between 22 June – 1 July 2018 over 70 artists will be opening up their homes and studios to the public presenting a diverse range of crafts including paintings, photography, jewellery, ceramics and digital art.

This exhibition offers a taster of what can be experienced during Art House and we encourage visitors to look out for artist’s open studios during the festival weekend.

The Chess Player

Imprisoned in solitary confinement by Nazis, a stolen book of chess games becomes a prisoner’s only way to cling to sanity. Fighting madness, he chooses schizophrenia, surviving by dividing his mind into two feuding chess masters. After his escape, he dares himself to walk the edge of a volcano of madness as he challenges the greatest chess player in the world to a match. Richard McElvain boldly reimagines Stefan Zweig’s classic in this world premiere.
